Ziyad Premium Green Za'atar Spice

You guys, I have lived most of my life in the Middle-East where Za'atar originated from and is a staple food for breakfast and dinner. Here's the thing, though. I really NEVER liked it growing up, and, sure, I carried some authentic Za'atar with me to the US every time I visited but it pretty much just sat there, unused for years. I tried so many different brands because it was something I would eat when I am feeling nostalgic, but I never really got into it. Well, folks, that was BEFORE I stumbled upon Ziyad Green Za'atar. I cannot tell you just how good this brand is! It tastes great and fresh with a perfect balance of thyme and spices and sesame seeds. I don't just like it, I crave it! I have it almost every day. It's the only brand I have eaten in the past couple of years, and I prefer it over stuff I get from the Middle East, that's how good it is! Two thumbs up! I realized when I ordered yet again this week that I never really left a review, and, boy, is it worth a great one! I highly recommend it! For anyone who doesn't know how this is "prepared", you just drizzle some olive oil on a slice of pita bread, and add the za'atar, and you'll have a nice tasty sandwich! or you can pour olive oil in a bowl, za'atar in another, and dip a small piece of pita bread into the oil then the za'atar., which is how it is usually done in family breakfasts or dinners. Alternatively, you can mix the za'atar and olive oil in a small bowl, then top a pizza dough (or really any dough! I use croissant dough oftentimes!) and bake that, and you'll get what's called a man'oosheh. These are the most common ways, but you can also add it to your eggs or avocado toast or cooking. It's quite versatile and it's pretty nutritious and I always enjoy watching my Za'atar naive friends taste it for the first time because they always love it! Can't recommend this za'atar enough!

Just as I remember it from grandma’s kitchen. Authentic and delicious. Olive oil and Zaatar topped with shredded mozzarella and then toasted in the broiler. I also enjoyed it on roasted vegetables. Zucchini, yellow squash and bell peppers on a skewer. Drizzled with olive oil, salt, pepper, and finished with Zaatar. Holy moly. Must try! This particular brand is my favorite. Along with many of their other spices, herbs and blends. Yalla an Ziyad!!!!!

Fresh and great quality. Was packaged in a silly way but that’s ok it arrived in good shape. I love this brand probably my favorite! I shared with my friend at work who knows good zattar when he sees it and he loved it and also purchased.

I was confident that I would like this za'atar, because the brand name seemed authentic. But, unfortunately, the smell was terrible and uninviting. I still thought maybe my nose was not familiar with the smell of fresh za'atar, especially since the expiry year was 2025! However, when I tasted it, the taste matched the smell - dust! The za'atar for sure has expired! It tasted terrible! Like it was mixed with dust. I wish I could get my money back!

Great Zaatar. Good quality and tasty.
